It was 7 months ago today that we lost Mike. I am amazed at how the 10th of each month feels like a sock in the stomach. A flood of emotions. No matter how hard I try, I can't escape the feelings. I can't help but re-live the emotions of that night. I miss my brother SO much! I miss his phone calls. I miss seeing him. I miss his letters. I miss everything about him. Even the bad! I have learned that this hole in my heart will never heal. It is something that people just can't feel and understand until they have experienced it also. Mike was a REALLY good brother to me. We had a open and great relationship. I miss that terribly. :(
